KRISTY & ROB PURSCH
A little Lindy goes a long way! Kristy first saw Lindy Hop in Sydney and was
astounded at the beauty of it – the clothes, the hair and the dance was ‘to die
for’ but even better was the lovely tall man with a huge smile on his face as he
danced along to the cool swingin’ sounds with grace and ease. Being a naturally
kool kitten Kristy simply walked right over to this gorgeous man and offered him
her hand…and the rest is history
Marriage, two lovely children and a move to Coffs Harbour meant that the dancing was of
the kitty dish for a while. However Kristy saw an advertisement in the paper for
a musical, Swingtime Canteen’ set in the 1940’s, they danced in the audition,
got the gig, and have not stopped dancing again since!
After the musical, people wanted to learn to Lindy too! Rob & Kristy called up
their teacher and mentor Jan O’Shea to start them off and now “CCSK” (Coffs
Coast Swing Katz) is two years old! Classes are booming, Kristy tells, the
greatest pleasure is “seeing everyone smiling and having a great time as they
immerse themselves in the dance and enjoy the challenges of the Lindy
Hop”.
Kristy & Robs motto: “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that
swing!”
